Our department has allowed us to carry 1911's for several years however we are now having a problem with some personnel (who make the decisions), threatening to eliminate some 1911 manufacturers from our approved weapons list due to few officers carrying them (Les Baer, Wilson, Dawson, STI) possibly due to cost. We have not experienced any problems since the 1911's have been allowed to be carried and all of our weapons are personally purchased without being reimbursed from the department. I am in dire need of any hard core data supporting the 1911's usefulness in LE, approved weapon criteria for your department, etc.... If anyone has any policies used at their department or applicable data I would greatly appreciate the help.
